Will Young scored a sensational hundred in the 4th ODI against India to put the visitors on the back foot. Interestingly, en route to his magnificent ton, the right-handed batter was dropped twice in two deliveries- first by Rohit Sharma, and then by Ishan Kishan.
After the Kiwi batter was given a lifeline by Rohit and Kishan, Virat Kohli walked up to the New Zealand batter, and Young revealed the hilarious banter he had with the Indian legend.
Will Young takes cheeky dig at Virat Kohli after getting two lifelines
Rohit had the chance to send Young packing in the second over itself, but the Indian fielder squandered a simple chance at slips. In the subsequent delivery, Kishan failed with his attempted diving catch as the New Zealand opener was given back-to-back lifelines.
After the wicket, Kohli, who was in a jolly mood right from ball one, had a funny banter with the Kiwi batter, with Young taking a cheeky dig at him.
[on his mindset when the catches were put down] "Well the first one a little bit disappointing but at the same time relieved. The second one, you just got to laugh it off. Virat came up to me and I said 'Have you ever been dropped twice?', he laughed and said no. Just brush it off and next ball," Young said.
Interestingly, there is a myth that Kohli hardly gets dropped after getting an edge, and the New Zealand batter seemingly took a cheeky dig at it, and the duo shared a great laughter.
Young smashes record-breaking ton to punish India
Just like how Daryl Mitchell scored a fifty after getting dropped in the second ODI, Young took advantage of the missed Indian opportunities and scored a quickfire hundred as the Black Caps posted 333.
The right-handed opener scored 125, and this was his highest ODI score, beating his previous best (120). Moreover, his 125 was the second-highest individual score by a New Zealander against India at home. Only Tom Latham (145*) is ahead of him.
